Tales of Finnegus Boggs: Confessions of a Marid, Djinn

By J Cafesin

A Ferrari Testarossa is his 'lamp.' Finnegus Boggs has been a Somalian warrior, an Egyptian scribe, a Cambridge professor. Present day, he's a doctor, and never in his over 5,000 yrs had he been forced from his lamp at gunpoint.

Billy stuck a gun at Finnegus and ordered him from his 'home' to stitch up his best bud, Tyron. He demanded Dr. Boggs fix his dying friend, but the genie knew sealing the hole in Tyron would involve much more than just stitching the boy's wound.

Always the consummate professional, and his curiosity piqued, Finnegus acquiesced to assist and grant Billy one wish. Guiding both boys to create their destiny and begin healing lifetimes of abuse and neglect was going to require a bit of magic...

Tales of Finnegus Boggs—

Confessions of a Marid, Djinn

Billy & Tyron

It was Billy’s idea to rip off the liquor store. He overheard brotherabe on his cell say the place was ripe. Bounce was good— take either Fruitvale or Foothill outta there. Heart of the hood, where this kinda crap is happenin all the time. And Lucky Liquors is owned by an old chink who runs the gook mart from openin til closin cuz he's too damn cheap to hire help from the neighborhood. Serves him right gettin tagged every coupla years.

Slide convincin Ty to do the deed. Homies since Sunshine Daycare, and with time and a coupla poundins earned respect as the cracka/nigga posse not to screw with. No fools in their face at school anymore, or on their streets edgin the rim of the hood, only their jank address and the popo's keepin em down.

Lunchroom Thursday, Billy goes on spoutin bout takin what they deserve for bein dissed since they was kids. From jackin construction sites at seven, to rippin music, movies and software off the net, then burnin CD’s and sellin them on Craigslist at eleven, Tyron was always anglin for money. It bought respect. Bought freedom for Billy. He'll be flippin off his hammered old man and dick-head brother on the way out of town, and his mom too, if she'd stuck around.
